FIT-CTIONARY

People say that French is the sexiest language but I would beg to differ. Listening to someone talk about their max bench is the equivalent to dirty talk for me, but for those people that don’t speak ‘gym’, like any language, listening to it is pure gibberish.

So let’s break it down, so it’s nice and simple and deconstruct the ‘gym bro’ slang into basic English. And no, Rosetta Stone does not have a tape for this one.

NEXT STOP: MOTIVATION STATION

If you tell me that you’re up for a challenge every single day, you’re lying.

If you sometimes lose your motivation, like me, that’s exactly what I’m here for. To help you find it again.

While my tips aren’t foolproof, and I can’t guarantee that after reading this you’ll miraculously feel like a new person ready to take on the world, I can assure you that if you take these tips into consideration you will feel even just a little bit better.

Confidence and body image are both interesting concepts. One day you could be feeling like a million bucks, dancing in front of the mirror in your underwear and confident as ever, and the next you could want to curl up in a ball and hide away in the comfort of your own bedroom for days. Read up here as resident fitness expert Dekkel delves into life outside the gym.

Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Years. Holiday parties. Ooo…the new Toffee Nut Latte from Starbucks! December is a frenzy of turkey, booze, eggnog, and bulky sweaters to hide your holiday weight gain. January most often proves to be a string of fitness resolutions to reach new #summerbody goals.

We’ve consulted with Toronto nutritionist and fitness expert Kyle Byron, for tips for drinking during holiday parties, to stick to your nutritional regime, as well as get a head start on New Year’s resolutions. Catch the whole thing here.

PEDAL PUSHER

We've all been there. The first ten pounds came off easy. You got into the swing of your workout routine. Your sets became easier. You even started feeling that infamous endorphin boost everyone talks about, making you actually enjoy going to the gym.

Fast-forward to a few weeks later and your body is in a stand-still. The weight doesn't seem to want to come off and you've stopped gaining muscle, even though your diet and exercise have remained the same.

Welcome to the dreaded and disheartening plateau. Read Amanda's secret to solving the dreaded problem here.

YOGI | ACTOR | FITNESS ADDICT

SKYN: Do you have any tips for anyone looking to start training?

HG: Take classes! If something interests you, try it out. Go online and find classes near you, or online websites with tutorial videos. Educated yourself about how to nourish your body, because food is most of the process.

SKYN: Really so key! It's amazing how much knowledge and confidence you have, were you always this comfortable in your own skin?

HG: In my Latin culture we always honoured our bodies and our minds. Positivity was instilled in me starting at a young age and I always encouraged other to think the same. So yes!

SKYN: That's amazing. Sounds like you really had some incredible mentors who helped mold and guide you. Did you have any that really stood out as being particularly impactful?

HG: My mentors through acting school, my closest friends, and myself.

SKYN: Amazing. We love how you just seem to have surrounded yourself with such supportive people. Now we know you've done some pretty great things, but we'd love to know what do you feel are some of your biggest accomplishments of the past year?

HG: I graduated from the National Theatre School, I moved to a new big city Toronto, and I got two agents that represent me in my acting career.

SKYN: Oh wow - TWO AGENTS?! That's unreal! Congrats girl! With the talent you have and so many people looking out for you we're sure you're going to make it big! What are some of your goals for 2016?

HG: Excel in my craft for performing, keep working on my physical body and mental state, travel, and continue loving.

SKYN: Sounds like you've got it all lined up, and we couldn't believe in you more. All the best and we can't wait to see what other great things happen for you!

January 1st, the day resolutioners decided that today is their day. It is the day they can hit the virtual reset button and finally start that diet, join the gym or build that hammock in their backyard that has been sitting in the box since Christmas of ’09. The start of the year is when gym owners become the real life version of the money eyes emoji and will likely make enough money to cover their yearly rent.

But let me ask you this, what is so special about January first? Find out here.

Finding time to work out with a busy schedule can be hard and honestly, it’s such a pain. Let Ankanee take the stress off by scoring you these quick and easy tips and tricks guaranteed to keep your tummy flat year round. Read up on them here.

She's about to give you two circuits you can do with minimal to no equipment so that you can keep up with your routine and maintain your ideal physique even when you’re not home (or are at home and are too lazy to leave the house!). Catch them here.

One is company, two’s a crowd, three’s a party. Yup, that sounds about right. If you’re anything like me, the second you get to the gym your headphones go in and you shut the world out. That hour in your day is your sacred ‘me time’ and if anybody thinks about bothering you they’ve got another thing coming.

That being said, I do have a select few friends that I don’t mind hitting a workout with.

So, what makes the perfect workout partner? We’re going to explore the best traits you should look for when searching for your new pal here!
